sweet cantata

it was a balmy and beautiful day: weather for bare hands, and bare heads.
hallelujah.

*rachel says it perfectly. weather MATTERS here. it's topic of conversation #1 with many.
topic of conversation #2 is the dutch railway system, but PLEASE don't get me started. i left work today at a quarter past five and got home at half past nine.
i am still winding down.

I love the weather. Generally speaking, not just sunny weather. I couldn't live in one of those places that always have the same weather; months of sun or months of rain would depress me equally. Give me our wonderful changeable, unpredictable weather! Hmmm, I think I'd make a great meteorologist.

Sounds a bit like the UK, you know! Fixations with the climate and appalling transport infrastructure. What's happened to the formerly efficient Dutch railways? But isn't it good to cast off the gloves and hats and enjoy the breeze and sunshine. It uplifts the mood, even when the trains don't run on time!

well, at least you HAVE a railway system, which is more than i can say for the states. unless of course you're lucky enough to live in one of the few cities with a subway. the subway rocks:) meanwhile, i'll keep walking.hurray for sunshine!

In Kurt Andersen's novel "Turn of the Century," he describes the sudden pleasure provided when the person you're supposed to meet for lunch cancels on you... An unforeseen boon comes into your life — kind of like not needing your gloves.

so simple well balanced image with the hopeful message 'in a short time you can leave your gloves on the table'feel pity for you passing precious time on a train but i'm sure you fill in this time your way (good way)have a good weekend lynn

ah, lynn, beautiful photo, but i always enjoy the words that go with them as well. the weather here today in wellington, nz is.... stunning. beautiful blue skies and sunshine, a slight breeze. the harbour is blue...i do not envy you your train ride, that sounds like a very long commute, do you do that every day?
